I'm slowly but surely(?) figuring this game out. It's incredibly hard, and the reviews say so, but it's crazy and zany enough that I'm enjoying sticking with it for as far as I can. I've had trouble finishing some of the tutorials, for example!

So far, I'm a bit confused by the fact that the game tasks you with figuring out/managing an ecosystem and at the same time requires that you act incredibly quickly in order to get anything done by the time the heroes waltz into the dungeon you've built. So, it's less like Dungeon Keeper and more like playing a game of Sim City in which Godzilla will show up 6 minutes in.... How great a city can you build in that time?

I've played the first one. It's an incredibly awesome game.
To be honest, I don't even know some tactics until I'm halfway through the game.
I'm debating about getting this one though, I have way too many games I haven't played on my steam. :(

I'm still sort of on the fence a bit. I guess I need to watch someone really good to figure out some of those strategies? My only consolation so far is that the review I read noted how hard the game is. :-)
